Pros

- good staff culture (speaking for my particular school only) - all hands on deck to help - sharing (resources) is caring mindset - good pay (especially if you fill hard to teach subject areas like math and science)/ good benefits but not very much time to use them. - the student transformation you see when you stay long enough - I think the school really helps improve their trajectories from an academic standpoint.

Cons

- This is literally the ibanking of teaching. The hours are long as teachers are expected to fill other roles beyond the classroom including leading after school clubs, etc. - Not very clear curriculum guidelines so teachers spend a lot of time reinventing the wheel here. - Not a clear path for advancement outside of the classroom
